(WOONSOCKET, R.I.) - Those who miss the famous berched chicken dinner at the former Ma Glockner's restaurant in Bellingham, Mass., will be pleased to know that the River Falls Restaurant in Woonsocket, R.I., recently reintroduced the, legendary dish.

Berched chicken involves a special process that includes steaming a seasoned chicken breast for several hours and then searing it on a grill for seven minutes. "Ma" Glockner invented the dish when the restaurant opened in 1937 and was served until its closing in September 2008.

At this writing, the River Falls serves the berched chicken dinner on Sundays -- along with other Ma Glockner's favorite like salad with French dressing, sweet potatoes and coconut cream pie.
